SCB each to there own. I use them in combination with fundamentals , momentum and intangibles like sentiment
Charting isnt a science but it can narrow down probably significantly
Maybe if Buffet had used them on his airline investments he wouldnt have lost at least 7 billion? Maybe
>Mystery where that 40p support figure is from tbh? Completely made up?
SCB its a linear regression line from the chart
>I cannot see a case, looking at the economy at this stage to have a lower base rate than 0.1%.
net interest margins are a concern which is why they have moved to expand the wealth management segment (already strong growth)
Looking cheap now
Im in ..hoping 45 holds but no major support until c40
I was just thinking the same
The second-quarter figures, announced on Monday, easily beat analyst estimates, which had predicted income of about $3.7bn, despite a slight drop in revenue..
"A slight drop in revenues" - revenues were 10% (or $1.4bn) lower year-on-year.
HSBC's 21Q2 Adjusted PBT is $2.97bn higher year-on-year, but this is entirely due to credit releases that made provisions $4.45bn better (to a release of $284m). In addition to the revenue drop, costs were 4% higher - so pre-provision pre-tax profit was 22% lower ($5.28bn vs. $6.76bn). NIM was down another 1 bps from Q1, which includes a decline of more than 3 bps in both Hong Kong and the UK ring-fenced bank.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Micro Focus (LSE: MCRO; NYSE: MFGP) today announced their full support for U.S. Representative Matt Cartwright's Grace Hopper Code for Us Act to support universities and colleges "in the development and implementation of courses of instruction regarding maintaining, developing, and modernizing information systems utilizing critical legacy computer languages." With thousands of successful modernization projects completed for customers around the world, the expertise of Micro Focus was requested in the bill's development for the company's rich history of leadership in application, process and infrastructure modernization activities.

"As foundational elements of IT and business transformation, insufficient investments in critical business programming languages like COBOL puts our most successful organizations and government departments at risk" said Neil Fowler, Micro Focus General Manager of Application Modernization and Connectivity. "With our company's work in modernizing business programming languages and investing in future talent with our Micro Focus COBOL Academic Program, we are honored to support this U.S. House of Representatives' bill to ensure the next generation of programmers is well-versed in these increasingly-important and critical computer languages."
The proposed bill seeks to give three-year grants of no more than $5,000,000 to five U.S. institutions of higher education. The grants will support courses, scholarships and internships for students choosing to learn about maintaining, developing and modernizing core computer languages like COBOL, Assembly, PL/I and others.
"A lot of sectors are seeing a mismatch between the skills workers have and what employers need. Training workers for jobs that are in demand now is key to getting more people back to work and continuing our economic recovery," said Rep. Cartwright. "When it comes to IT, that mismatch was painfully clear as government agencies struggled to keep their computer systems using older coding languages running during the pandemic. The Grace Hopper Code for Us Act will help prepare workers for good-paying jobs available now in maintaining and modernizing our critical government and private sector information systems."
As recent Micro Focus research shows, modernization projects using an incremental and continuous improvement model achieve superior results when compared to other project-based approaches including the ripping and replacing of core business applications like those written in COBOL. With 92% of IT leaders regarding their COBOL applications as strategic to their business, this legislation has the potential to support the training of the next generation of programmers for not only proper application maintenance, but for the modernization of these core applications that continue to underpin some of the nation's most critical IT processes.
Agreed and this is why the short funds are still latched on
We need those to close and move forward
100Noutout I totally agree you just have to read the wording of the RNS 3/3/21
"The vesting of the warrants is subject to acceleration in certain limited circumstances (including a change of control of the Company or a sale of certain parts of the Group). "
Walshp its the prior day close. Even if I buy in the pre market auction and therefore own at open (but not owned at close the day before) they do not qualify
The shorts have hold of this
